Reached Palani at 8.15pm. The journey was long and tiring. Once reached Palani town, we checked into the hotel and tried to organize for the head tonsuring today itself, but all the barbers have gone back home despite the time being not too late.

That being the case, we decided to just have a barber come over to the hotel the next morning at 3am to do the head tonsuring. It was just a simple hotel, no frills basically. Anyway, this is what I wanted as well, to keep the budget down.

Once we checked in and had our bath, we felt hungry and decided to have dinner. We checked with the hotel restaurant but they close at 10pm and so would all the other shops in town. That being the case, it did not leave us with any other choice but to just go to bed.
